With next-generation digital HD Radio technology from iBiquity, digital FM stations approach CD-quality sound, and digital AM stations approach FM-quality sound.

HD Radio technology also makes "multicasting" possible, allowing broadcasters to double or triple the number of program streams (all free, of course) available to listeners. With innovative hardware-software integration from Griffin, next-generation digital radio becomes truly interactive. radio SHARK HD will allow users to "pause live radio," and to schedule recordings of digital radio programming. radio SHARK HD will go further by automatically identifying radio stations and even individual songs broadcast in digital format.

Finally, radio SHARK HD will allow users to review and playback music recorded from digital radio on a personal computer, sync recordings of digital radio programming to an iPodTM, and purchase songs heard on digital radio from Apple's iTunes Music StoreTM.
